I first heard of the Boostaroo at the Indianapolis Brickyard when I desperately needed more volume from my scanner/headphone setup. But my main use comes when I settle back into a long airplane ride with my Sennheisers strapped over my head, my iPod doing what it does, and the added volume of the Boostaroo turning good music into great.

The volume improvement is substantial but not dramatic. You’ll still want a good set of headphones with some decent capacity. But when you add the AA-battery-powered Boostaroo to that, you get some really fine sound.

The splitter option allows a companion to tune into the same music if he or she also had a set of headphones perched upon or inserted into the appropriate feature of the human physiognomy. In fact, you could do a three-fer if you and two friends are munching pretzels in, say, the A,B, and C seats. It’s small enough to fit into a shirt pocket or a headphone’s carrying case.

For more of a good sound, at the racetrack or while traveling, the Boostaroo is the best available portable and affordable solution.
